Not no one, NY/NJ has agreed to pay for half and Obama agreed that the feds would pay the other half. But the dunce in the WH is telling Congress not - Krusty Mar 5, 06:07 2
- its not going to get any cheaper the longer they wait -- nm - Epiphany - Mar 5, 06:08 1
  - if we get another Sandy the wait will be over, there won't be a tunnel -- nm - decline Mar 5, 06:10
The NE Corridor is also the only profitable Amtrak route, and subsidizes the midwest, south, etc. Clearly the admin doesn't understand this. -- nm - MDH Mar 5, 06:03 1
